Featured Video Staggering Stats of Student Debts Americans are faced with an insurmountable amount of debt. The US national debt is less than $16 billion away from reaching $15 trillion. That means the debt per citizen is nearly $50,000 and debt per taxpayer is over $133,000. But wait until you hear the amount of total debt on student loans. The numbers will shock you. Watch the video as CNBC's Courtney Reagan takes a closer look at the staggering statistics that face soon-to-be graduates. |

Dear Readers,
For the last few months, I have been waiting for the initial drill results from Abzu Gold's (TSX Venture: ABS) Nangodi project. On Thursday, they finally came - unearthing a new Ghanaian gold discovery. And the initial results are BIG...
Before I go over the results, let's play some catch up.
Abzu Gold (TSX-V: ABS) is a West African junior in Ghana that was featured in the Equedia Letter back in July (click for report).
Just last month, they teased us with 4.72 g/t gold over 20 metres at their Asafo location, near PMI Gold's Obatan gold project (see update here). While those numbers were good, the real kicker for Abzu was their recent option on their Nangodi project - one of ten concessions currently under option agreement with Red Back Mining Ghana, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinross Gold, with no current drill results...until now. The Nangodi Discovery
The Nangodi is the site of a 1930's vintage underground mine that produced gold at an average grade of ~26 g/t gold. Back in those days, gold was nowhere near current price levels (between $20-$35/oz) which meant that only extremely high grade gold deposits with visible gold showings were ever mined. Obviously, the mine eventually shut down as the cost to pull the gold out far exceeded gold prices.
Historical drill intercepts have intersected gold mineralization along a strike distance of 1.2 kilometres with true widths up to 60m with mineralization open in all directions and at depth.
But that was then and this is now.
Gold prices are now heading toward $2000/oz with extreme violence and the Nangodi project remains mostly untouched.
On Thursday, Abzu announced the first holes from the project...and the numbers are big.
Abzu Gold Announces New Ghanaian Gold Discovery at Nangodi Property
The Nangodi Project centers on a historic gold mine and the results released Thursday are from just one of several targets on the large, 142 km2, Nangodi concession.
Thursday's drill results clearly confirm the presence of a broad gold mineralized system, with multiple higher-grade gold intercepts. Mineralization remains open in all directions including depth - which means a lot of room for expansion.
Take a look at the highlights:
- 73 metres @ 1.15 g/t gold
- 66 metres @ 1.53 g/t gold
- 44 m @ 1.91 g/t Gold

In addition, this drilling demonstrates the presence of a high-grade zone 1 to 15 m wide with values up to 41.6 g/t gold over 1 metre and 4.65 g/t gold over 15 metres.
So far, Abzu has completed 27 Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond core drill holes totalling 4,039 metres in its phase 1 drill program. So far, 4 out of the 5 holes have returned significant results (as shown in above figure) and as shown here.
That means there are still 22 holes that have yet to be released. If they come back as strong as their first holes, we're looking at a serious game changer for Abzu - especially considering their geophysical location and proximity to nearby deposits and mines. In a bull market, these results would send any junior skyrocketing in share price.
Abzu is in a great position to fully exploit not only high gold prices, but an extremely promising prospect at Nangodi.
Even today, artisanal miners are recovering gold from the Nangodi zone due to the richness of gold in the area. The grades are high and mineralization is open in all directions and at depth. That means there is significant room for expansion and I bet that Abzu's management will be aggressive in moving this project forward.  | | Gold tail in artisanal miner's gold pan washed from artisanal bedrock diggings at Nangodi. |
Last week, I went over some basics on mining evaluation in the letter, "It's Not That Simple: Mining 101." In it, I stressed that proximity to producers and other deposits create great synergies in economies of scale which make juniors much more attractive.
If you're looking for those traits, Abzu easily fits the bill with its projects directly near or adjacent to major deposits and producers in Ghana.
West African gold companies continue to draw serious attention due to the simplicity of its geology which allows companies in the area to move projects forward at record pace.
Just take a look at a few of the companies advancing projects in the area:
Combined, these projects include a total of more than 70 million ounces of gold!
Abzu's Nangodi Main and other targets also align along a regional shear zone that continues to the northeast across the border into Burkina Faso where it hosts the Youga Mine of Endeavor Mining Corp.

The Nangodi and Yameriga concessions are located in northern Ghana in the Bole-Nangodi Gold Belt. Targets in these concessions are aligned along a regional shear zone that extends northeast into Burkina Faso and hosts the Youga Mine.
|
I am extremely encouraged by the most recent results from Nangodi. Not only have the first few holes shown us incredible numbers, mineralization is open in all directions and at depth. The remaining results should come out soon and if they are anything like the ones just announced, we're looking at a potential game-changer for Abzu.
Given what I have seen, I fully expect the remaining upcoming results from Abzu to be positive. Abzu has properties and the potential to find the next big deposit in Ghana - let's see what management can do.
Next week, I'll continue with more in-depth discussions on mining valuations as promised last week.
Until next week, Ivan Lo Equedia Weekly

The Gold Investor's Biggest Risk
By Jeff Clark, The Casey Report
 While we're convinced that our gold and silver investments will pay off, they don't come without risk. What do you suppose is the biggest risk we face? Another 2008-style selloff? Gold stocks never breaking out of their funk? Maybe a depression that slams our standard of living?
Though those things are possible, we at Casey Research don't see that as your greatest threat:
"Your biggest risk is not that gold or silver may fall in price. Nor is it that gold stocks could take longer to catch fire than we think. Not even the prospect of the Greater Depression. No, your biggest risk is political. As bankrupt governments get increasingly desperate for revenue, any monetary asset held domestically could be a target. It is absolutely essential that every investor diversify themselves politically. In fact, at this point, it is the one action that should be taken before anything else." - Doug Casey, September 2011
I know many reading this are prudent investors. You own gold and silver as solid protection against currency debasement, inflation, and faltering economies. You set aside cash for emergencies. You have strong exposure to gold stocks, both producers and juniors, positioned ahead of what is likely the next-favored asset class. You feel protected and poised to profit.
Yet, despite all this preparation, you remain exposed to one of the biggest risks.
Similar to holding a diversified portfolio at a bank without checking the institution's solvency, many investors keep their entire stash of precious metals inside one political system without considering the potential trap they've set for themselves. While storing some of your gold outside your home country is not a panacea, it does offer one important thing: another layer of protection.
Consider the exposure of the typical US investor: 1) systemic risk, because both the bank and broker are US domiciled; 2) currency risk, as virtually every transaction is made in US dollars; 3) political risk, because they are left totally exposed to the whims of a single government; and, 4) economic risk, by being vulnerable to the breakdown of a single economy.
Viewed in this context, the average US investor has minimal diversification.
The remedy is to internationalize the storage of some of your precious metals. This act reduces four primary risks...

Increasing Volume to Uncover Institutional Buying
 | | click to play |
One of the best ways to find stocks on the move that are grabbing investors' attention is to screen for stocks with increasing volume.
This is because increased volume shows investor interest. As more investors buy the stock, that stock's price should go higher.
But the individual investor, while important to the market, doesn't really have the firepower to affect volume the way that big institutional investors do. So how do you find institutional buying?
Watch the video as Kevin Matras shows how to screen for weekly volume increases to uncover institutional buying.
